Bad loss for Kansas?
Shit, wrong thread
Shit, wrong thread
I meant the 6 wins part lol
If we don’t make tourney I think he’s gotta be gone without a doubt.
Shit, giving us 3 more wins looks dumb right now. lol
On a serious note, we lose this, I'm all for canning Pitino right after the game.
I think PSU is actually ranked ok in the net so I doubt you'll drop muchHoly shit that was bad by the Gophers. I'll take it though. Our NET will probably drop by 10 or so though, so that's not good.

Win!!!
Team will win at least 8. But yeah not looking promising overall
Road games left vs MSU, Purdue , Michigan , Nebraska and Maryland is tough . Honestly that's probably 5 losses so it's not much room for error especially when the hone slate includes Purdue , Wisconsin , Iowa, Indiana. Gophs will need to win at Rutgers and NW then at least split the hone games . If they do that they can get to 9-11 and maybe have a shot at an at large but the schedule is brutal the rest of the wayI don't see it, but I guess we'll find out.

Don’t get me wrong nothing is a lock. But there’s still too many games left that can reasonably be won.
Rutgers and Northwesten. Good chance to split those. 5 wins.
Wisco/Indiana. Good chance to split those home games. 6 wins.
Illinois at Home. 7 wins.
With a few more solid chances at home wins(Iowa and Purdue).
They don’t need a miracle to get 8 or 9 wins. I think it’s highly likely they do. But that wouldn’t be enough wins
The good thing is there are lots of opportunities left to get a few big winsI think we're only favored once the rest of the way(home against Illinois).
If we were an NCAA tournament caliber team, we would be sitting at least 5-2 in conference right now. The Wisconsin game looks like a complete fluke right now.
For whatever reason, this is still a team that has no mental make up. It's really frustrating.

Couple of seasons ago Gophs went on a 5 game losing streak, and followed that with an 8 game winning streak.
What changed? What transformed the team from losers to winners?
Thing is, this team is basically 3-4 stars and a whole shit load of guys trying to figure out their place on the team(new recruits and transfers) or who are trying to get back into playing bb at a high level(injured players getting healthy).
So maybe, just maybe, the team is still searching for that good chemistry, that right combination, the best fit/lineup, etc.? And I'm holding out hope that this still happens.
I mean, it seems we have the pieces, and maybe it's Pitino's fault for not putting those pieces together, or maybe it's the players needing to figure things out? I just hope for the best, of course.
I mean, I'm not an expert, just a fan, so tell me guys, don't we have the pieces? What are we missing?
They also beat Nebraska at home. That’s kinda the point with a lot of these games. Almost all these teams are flawed.
Might the Gophs lose most of them? Sure
But you’re also unrealistically pessimistic if right now you are worried about the Gophers based on their play. But on the flip side have Indiana coming in to be them at the barn. Indiana looks like they have forgetter what basketball is...especially anywhere on the road.
Panic mode for OSU.... Maybe we are what they thought we were
